Road to Gladex 0.6

Gladex 0.6 aims to make using glade even easer. Gladex 0.5 will continue working toward the goal of finding all the little scripts to generate code with Glade and make an equivalent in Gladex. Gladex 0.6 also will be able to run code like tepachae from its GUI interface. Gladex 0.5 will be the development series leading to Gladex 0.6.
